Quantum-Dot Plasmonics and Spasers (QuaDoPS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,
This project will fabricate and study devices known as spasers, which are the plasmonic analog of conventional lasers. In general, plasmonic devices exploit electromagnetic waves known as surface plasmon polaritons (herein shortened to surface plasmons) that propagate at the surface of a metal. Because these waves allow light to be concentrated in nanometer-scale volumes (hot spots), they can lead ...

Advanced Brain Imaging with MRI (ABRIM)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
In this proposal we bring for the first time modern methods of cognitive neuroimaging using MRI into routine application. This will bring significant benefits both for the clinic and for neuroscience. By exploiting recent dramatic increases in scanning speed we will develop a protocol that performs an assessment of brain connectivity plus a high spatial resolution evaluation of the brain within ha ...

Marine Renewables Infrastructure Network for Emerging Energy Technologies (MARINET)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Offshore Renewable Conversion systems are mostly at the pre-commercial stage of development. They comprise wave energy and tidal stream converters as well as offshore wind turbines for electrical generation. These devices require research to be undertaken at a series of scales along the path to commercialization. Each technology type is currently at a different stage of development but each one al ...

Treatment and Disposal of Irradiated Graphite and Other Carbonaceous Waste (CARBOWASTE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,
"Gas-Cooled Reactors (GCR), RBMK and some Material Test Reactors (MTR) make use of graphite as moderator of the fuel, structures of the core and/or thermal columns. During operation, the graphite and other carbonaceous materials like carbon brick, pyrocarbon and silicon carbide coatings are contaminated by fission products and neutron activation. These irradiated carbonaceous wastes are problemati ...
